The fragmentation of this market is going to be stupid for awhile. Every publisher is going to want to charge for their own streaming service and they are basically all going to fail.

What’s funny is that people who are already profiting off cheats in other games and are used to finding exploits will be the ones to collect the reward.

A LOT of things missing from your view on Aerith. Like that she has more than double the MP of anyone else in the cast, her weapons still do have a faintly ridiculous amount of Materia slots, several of her weapons let you just set up flat damage boosts for every elemental magic, she can double cast (if you combine…

I say this having not beaten the game yet (so please don’t spoil anything for me!), but... it’s a lot more than just 2 hours. From side quests to new characters and extra characterization for the Avalanche crew, there’s a whole bunch of new content. Chapter 4 alone is around an hour or so alone, if the playthroughs on…

I think that what you’ve said healthy. As consumers, we shouldn’t ever place complete trust to companies and their plans. At the same time, its always important to look at a product for what it is and try to understand the authors’ POV when creating it. That’s how to appreciate artform of any kind. Whether we agree…

That’s a load of bull. We all know the REAL reason they stuck him in there: because he’s the most popular character in the game by far and there would have been nonstop whining if he was absent.

Man, the original’s introduction to Sephiroth was brilliant! Just waking up in the cell to see the door open, blood and slash marks everywhere, gradually making your way through the building to see the last of his work at the top. And all without ever seeing him. It perfectly sets the tone for the ghost chase the game…

Starting off Part Two explaining Sephiroth really would have been a way to begin things outside Midgar. Or, make the flashback the ending of Part One and leave the audience off on that feeling of dread.

I should rephrase. I’m not saying the PS2 doesn’t have games worth it to replay. My favorite game of all time is on the PS2 (Rez). But over time, my favorite games have either been collected, reissued or remastered (Twisted Metal Black, Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, Rez, Shadow Of The Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 2/3,…

Now that pretty much the entire game industry is delayed your work here is done.

And Nintendo made sure that every Wii turned a profit—it can’t hope for and wait a game library to finally make it revenue.

got it..memorized? 

Yeah I don’t know about the $20 for a battery situation. I got 2x and a charging station and they were black to match my controller for $14. When one runs out I pop the other one in. I’ve only ever seen a couch have power when its against a wall, otherwise the cables get untidy. 

To be fair, long time ago, it was mostly lots of big budget games competing vs one another - I’m talking pre-2013. I remember buying big publisher packs, dozens of games, for under $80 if not less. Then when proverbial gates were opened. So you could say that 2012 and 2013 was probably the best time for indies that…

Anyone who thinks Civ V is too simple needs to play the mod: Vox Populi. It uses Civ V as a framework, and redoes and improves everything. You will have to relearn it like an entire new game, but it is by far the based turn based strategy game I have even played.

I never had an issue with unit stacking. Its got its points, but its also got its downsides. End game doom stacks rarely end well for the stack. I’m not sure the system that replaced it is any better, more shuffling of annoyance factors. 

I would be scared too!

A hat tip to the first person who knows the punchline...
